Without any intent of malice, .we would like to bring the matter to light and find out just what happened. On the day preceding Christmas vacation, a repre sentative of a student group appeared in The Daily Ne braskan office with a letter asking why seniors are unable to get their credits checked before the start of second semester registration. The request stems, of course, from the desire of each senior to know what academic require ments he may not have fulfiled so that he may do so his last semester and thus graduate at the time he had planned. Our good friend Dr. Rosenlof, registrar, requested that before the letter be printed, he be given the chance to run an explanation along with the letterip. In our opinion, this was only fair. However, after vacation the above-mentioned student appeared in our office with the request that the letter not be printed. Consequently the matter was never put before the student body through the medium of the student newspaper. Since that time various students have approached us with that same question, "Why can't we get our credits checked before the start of our last semester?" No one likes 'the idea of having to spend txtra time in the Uni versity simply for the reason that they are not informed of their graduation deficiencies early enough to do some thing about it. During the holiday period, we picked up some infor mation on the subject that indicates that the trouble might be ironed out of the senior checkers were a little more diligent in their job. The irony of the matter is that your editor was able to get his credits checked with very little difficulty (in contrast to the above explanation), but was able to do so by approaching the matter from the possibility of gradua ting at the end of the first semester. Our purpose here is not to cause any ufidue stir in the registrar's office. We merely raise the question to which we think, the students are entitled an answer, "Is there any reason why all seniors can't have their credits checked before they register for what they hope is their last semester?" .ilu. !ll:auJf-.Hei;ylil.:'lIU.V lh id J.

The UNESCO conference is looming large on the horizon and students are beginning to wonder, and rightly so, if the conference is going to have any lasting value, if it is worth putting their time and energy into. We feel it is, on both counts, and want to give a few thoughtful answers to those equally thoughtful questions. First, as to the Nebraska UNESCO serving any real purpose, it would serve an excellent purpose if it only gave the students a better understanding of the working of UNESCO. If we are to become contributing world citizens, we must realize both the idealistic and materialistic siae of UNESCO. How better can we do it than by attempting to duplicate the actual set up and learn from experience of a few of the problems that face an organization of this kind? Not only do our attempts teach us of UNESCO, but they also give us a wider view of international affairs in general. True, we cannot hope to duplicate the attitudes and feelings of our assigned countries, but even trying helps us to understand them better. UNESCO does deal in intangibles to an extent, but we should not feel that we cannot attack or comprehend intan gibles. College students should be living the principles of UNESCO now; the aim of al our education is a better fu ture, which will come principally from- better international understanding. Universities are the bases of education, science and culture. We are the ones who should initiate such a program as a miniature UNESCO. If we treat it lightly and shrug our shoulders, we will greatly nullify its value, but if we seize our opportunity to make something of it, we can do great things.

EISEN HOWER has been called to Wash ington to serve temporarily as chairman of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff, President Truman an nounced Friday. No explanation from the White House was Riven, but it is expected that Eisen hower will be the principle mil itary adviser and consultant to the President and Secretary of Defense Forrestal. A considerable number of raised eyebrows followed this announce ment by the President. Was Eisen hower getting b;ick into harness because of new developments in the international situation? Or does the retirement of Fleet Ad miral William Leahy, member of the Chicfs-of-Staff, have any con nection? Tomorrow's news may have the answer. BULGARIA announced the "confessions'' of fifteen Protest ant clergymen of espionage for the United States and Britain. This indictment followed almost to a letter the similar action in Hungary on Cardinal Mindszenty. A HUNGARIAN diplomat has been asked by the United States "to leave the United States as soon as possible." No reason was officially given for this move by the State Department, but it might be tit-for-tat because of Hungary's ousting of two Amer ican officials from Hungary. A SUMMARY of the interna tional news highlights of last speakers and having a pageant and displays. It is now up to the students to make something of it. UNESCO canxbe a great experiment in education, but it needs our help.

Despite Russia's threats, Norway will probably join, even though she can expect no military aid from the United States. Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty was con victed of espionage in Hungary.

I As I Was 8 s By Tatti C.artland Cupids danced from the ceiling at the Palladian Sweetheart for mal Friday night in the Union The cupids were made from bal loons and hung on the walls to gether with hearts and red and white streamers providing the Valentine decorations for the party. A promising Valentine couple was Dean Morrison and Emily C'loyd. The refreshments of cake and cokes seemed to intrigue Dennis Milchum, but his date Marylou Myers also shared his attention. Members of the fatuity joined in the festivities. Dr. and Mrs. Lindgieen and Mr. and Mrs. Doyle kept a .sharp eye on the couples in the corner Erv Wish and Louise Metzger, Maxine Lud wick and Larry Rupert. The balloon cupids were auc tioned off by Jim Welch during intermission. Between bidding on cupids and doing the polka (in his own little way), Dick Thomas was the hit of the evening, al though ho was not always on his feet through the course of the event. Auctioneering provided a hu morous weekend note. Kiggest bargain (?) went to Carolyn Rob erts who vied for Bob Axtell fl worth.
